Ezra 6
1 Then gave king Darius an order, that they should make search in the house of the books, where the treasures were laid up there in Babylon.
त्यसैले दारा राजाले बेबिलोनको अभिलेख संग्रहमा खोजतलाश गर्ने आज्ञा दिए ।
2 And there was found at Achmetha, in the castle that is in the province of Media, a roll, and therein was thus written: A record.
मादी प्रान्तको एक्बातानको किल्लाबन्दी गरिएको सहरमा एउटा मुट्ठो भेट्टाइयो । त्यसको विवरण यस्तो थियोः
3 In the first year of king Cyrus, king Cyrus gave an order concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be built, the place where they used to offer sacrifices, and let its foundations be strongly laid: its height shall be sixty cubits, its breadth sixty cubits,
“राजा कोरेसको पहिलो वर्षमा, कोरेसले यरूशलेममा भएको परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको बारेमा एउटा आदेश जारी गर्नुभयो, 'बलिदानको स्थानको रूपमा एउटा भवन पुनर्निर्माण गरियोस्, यसका जगहरू बसालिऊन्, यसको उचाइ साठी हात र चौडाइ साठी हात होस्,
4 With three rows of heavy stones, and a row of new timber; and let the expenses be given out of the king's house.
चोकमा ठुला ढुङ्गाका छपनी तिन लहर र फल्याकका छपनी एक लहर होस्, अनि राजदरबाट यसको खर्च तिरियोस् ।
5 And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took away out of the temple which is in Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought back unto the temple which is in Jerusalem, every one to its place, and let them be put in the house of God.
अब नबूकदनेसरले यरूशलेमको मन्दिरबाट बेबिलोनमा ल्याएका परमेश्वरको मन्दिरका सुन र चाँदीका थोकहरू लिएर ल्याऊ र तिनलाई यरूशलेमकै मन्दिरमा फिर्ता पठाऊ । तिमीहरूले तिनलाई परमेश्वरको मन्दिरमा राख्नुपर्छ ।'
6 Now Thathnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-bozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the river, be ye far from there:
अब यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिकप प्रान्तका गभर्नर तत्तनै, शत्तर-बोज्नै र तिनका सहयोगीहरू अलग बसून् ।
7 Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God on its site.
परमेश्वरको यस मन्दिरको काममा बाधा नदिनू । गभर्नर र यहूदी धर्म-गुरुहरूले त्यस ठाउँमा परमेश्वरको मन्दिर बनाउनेछन् ।
8 And by me is the order given what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God, that out of the king's property, arising out of the tax beyond the river, the expenses shall forthwith be given unto these men, that they be not hindered.
परमेश्वरको यस मन्दिर बनाउने यी यहूदी धर्म-गुरुहरूका लागि तिमीहरूले यसो गर्नू भनी म तिमीहरूलाई हुकुम दिंदैछुः तिनीहरूले आफ्नो काम रोक्न नपरोस् भनेर यूफ्रेटिस नदी पारिको राजकीय कोषबाट रुपियाँ-पैसा दिनू ।
9 And what they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt-offerings unto the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the requirement of the priests who are a Jerusalem, shall be given unto them day by day, without fail.
तिनीहरूलाई आवश्यक हरेक कुरो अर्थात् स्वर्गका परमेश्वरको निम्ति होमबलि चढाउन साँढेहरू, भेडाहरू वा थुमाहरू र यरूशलेमका पुजारीहरूको आज्ञामुताबिक अन्न, नून, दाखमद्य वा तेल दिनहुँ तिनीहरूलाई नबिर्सी दिनू ।
10 That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savors unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king and of his sons.
यसै गर्नू ताकि तिनीहरूले स्वर्गका परमेश्वरको निम्ति भेटी ल्याऊन् र म राजा अनि मेरा छोराहरूका निम्ति प्रार्थना गरून् ।
11 Also is by me the order given, that if any man should alter this command, timber shall be pulled down from his house, and being set up, he shall be hanged thereon; and his house shall be made a dunghill for this.
कसैले यस आदेशलाई उल्लङ्घन गर्यो भने त्यसको घरबाट एउटा खम्बा उखेलियोस् र त्यसलाई त्यही खम्बामा टाँगियोस् भनी म आज्ञा दिंदैछु ।यो कारणले त्यसपछि त्यसको घरलाई भग्नावशेषको थुप्रोमा परिणत गरियोस् ।
12 And may the God that causeth his name to dwell there cast down every king and people that will stretch forth their hand to alter, to destroy this house of God which is in Jerusalem. I Darius have given the order: let it be done speedily.
त्यस ठाउँमा आफ्नो नाउँ राख्नुहुने परमेश्वरले यस आदेशलाई बद्लन खोज्ने वा यरूशलेममा परमेश्वरको यस मन्दिरलाई नष्ट गर्न खोज्ने कुनै पनि राजा वा मानिसलाई पदच्यूत गरून् । म दाराले यो आदेश दिंदैछु । मेहनतसाथ यसलाई कार्यान्वयन गरियोस् ।”
13 Then did Thathnai the, governor on this aide of the river, Shethar-bozenai, and their companions, in accordance with what king Darius had sent, act in this manner speedily.
तब राजा दाराद्वारा पठाइएको यस आदेशको कारणले यूफ्रेटिस नदीपारिको प्रान्तका गभर्नर तत्तनै, शत्तर-बोज्नै र तिनका सहयोगीहरूले राजा दाराले आज्ञा गरेअनुसार हरेक कुरा गरे ।
14 And the elders of the Jews built, and they prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of 'Iddo. And they built, and completed it, according to the order of the God of Israel, and according to the order of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes the king of Persia.
यसरी यहूदी धर्म-गुरुहरूले हाग्गै अगमवक्ता र इद्दोका छोरा जकरियाको सुझाव मानेर निर्माण गरे र उन्नति गरे । इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको आज्ञा र फारसका राजाहरू कोरेस, दारा र अर्तासास्तका आदेशअनुसार तिनीहरूले आफ्नो भवन बनाएर सिद्ध्याए ।
15 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of king Darius.
राजा दाराको शासनकालको छैटौं वर्षको अदार महिनाको तेस्रो दिनमा मन्दिरको काम पुरा भयो ।
16 Then celebrated the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the exile, the dedication of this house of God with joy;
इस्राएलका मानिसहरू, पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरू र निर्वासनबाट फर्केर आएकाहरूले आनन्दसाथ परमेश्वरको यस मन्दिरको समर्पण-उत्सव मनाए ।
17 And they offered for the dedication of this house of God one hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve he-goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको समर्पणको निम्ति तिनीहरूले एक सयवटा साँढे, एक सयवटा भेडा र चार सयवटा थुमा बलि चढाए । इस्राएलका एक-एक कुलको लागि सारा इस्राएलीको लागि पापबलिको रूपमा बाह्रवटा बोका पनि चढाइयो ।
18 And they stationed the priests in their orders, and the Levites in their divisions, for the service of God, which is in Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.
मोशाको पुस्तकमा लेखिएबमोजिम तिनीहरूले पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूलाई यरूशलेममा परमेश्वरको सेवाको लागि तिनीहरूका विभाजनअनुसार नियुक्त पनि गरे ।
19 And the children of the exile prepared the passover-[sacrifice] on the fourteenth day of the first month.
यसरी निर्वासनबाट फर्केकाहरूले पहिलो महिनाको चौधौं दिनमा निस्तार-चाड मनाए ।
20 For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves, as one man were all of them clean; and they slaughtered the passover-sacrifice for all the children of the exile, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
पुजारीहरू र लेवीहरूले आफूलाई शुद्ध पारे, र आफूलगायत निर्वासनबाट फर्केकाहरू सबैका लागि निस्तारको बलि चढाए ।
21 And then did the children of Israel, who were returned out of the exile, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the uncleanness of the nations of the earth, to seek the Lord the God of Israel, eat thereof.
निस्तारको मासु खाने इस्राएलका मानिसहरूमा निर्वासनबाट फर्केका र देशका मानिसहरूको अशुद्धताबाट आफूलाई अलग राखेका अनि इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको अनुसरण गरेकाहरू थिए ।
22 And they celebrated the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy; for the Lord had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Asshur toward them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
तिनीहरूले सात दिनसम्म हर्षका साथ अखमिरी रोटीको चाड मनाए, किनकि परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूमा आनन्द ल्याउनुभएको थियो, र इस्राएलका परमेश्वरको मन्दिर अर्थात् उहाँको घरको काममा तिनीहरूका हात बलियो पार्न अश्शूरका राजाको ह्रदय फर्काइदिनुभएको थियो ।
